ABSTRACT:
A system is described for retaining a wheel trim member in operative relationship to a conventional multiflanged vehicle wheel which is particularly adapted for use on wheel trim members fabricated from plastic composition. The retention system comprises a cavity or pocket provided in the wheel trim member in which is disposed a clip member and a member for biasing it in a radially outward direction and into engagement with a radially inward facing flange portion of a vehicle wheel. The outer portion of the clip member is provided with teeth which are adapted to bitingly engage the wheel trim member thereby securely retaining the wheel trim member in installed relationship to the vehicle wheel. Cooperating portions are also provided on the clip and within the cavity to limit the radial outward movement of the clip member when the wheel trim member is removed from the vehicle wheel.
